This paper aims to analyse the impact of MOOC-based mobile applications on the learning process, memory development, knowledge sharing, and student motivation to study. The study analyzes the ...existing electronic educational resources of universities. The study design includes two types of surveys (before and after MOOC-based training). The sample population included 662 students of 1–4 courses. A survey conducted before the training showed that 54% of respondents rated their technical competence level as average, 43% rated it as high, and 3% rated it as low. About 83% of respondents noted that mobile applications and online educational courses have affected their academic performance in learning, memory development, and learning ability. The post-training survey results indicated an improvement in the group performance of students who learned with mobile applications on MOOC platforms. The practical significance of the research is determined by the possibility of using the program based on MOOC mobile applications at different faculties of the university. The paper also supplements existing studies with new data on the impact of learning using MOOCs mobile applications on the educational process.
The objective of this study was to determine the impact of reduced collaboration in TV news production on job satisfaction and to explore the contributing effect of modern technologies on reduced ...collaboration in TV news production in Nigeria. The researchers utilized a descriptive survey research design with a structured questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. The data for the study were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a one-way multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). The result of the study showed that reduced collaboration decreases job satisfaction. Also, modern technologies increase reduced collaboration. Further results showed that modern technologies have led to reduced collaboration in private TV stations more than federal and state TV stations. It was also found that the creative application of modern technologies will lead to increased collaboration and job satisfaction among TV stations in Nigeria.
Many factors influence milk production and farm development. The most critical factor determining the production is the price of sold milk and indirectly the costs connected with its production. In ...majority of farms, milk production is profitable. The decisive factors influencing the profitability of milk production are the balance of nutrition and ensuring the welfare of dairy herds. Equally important are the genetic characteristics of cows and proper rearing of calves. The study shows that the modernization of farms also influences the development of milk production by improving the optimization of energy use and reducing labour intensity, and overall optimization of production costs.
Nowadays, the growing role of logistics centers is observed within supply chains. These centers operate on the competitive market and face growing customers’ requirements. Such occurrence forces ...these centers to implement various technological solutions in order to improve the quality level of their services. The article’s aim is to investigate the actual development stage of modern technologies used in logistics centers, as well as identify the benefits and threats related to these technologies’ implementation. The case study of logistics centers located in Poland has been considered. The current condition of technological development of logistics centers was analyzed based on questionnaire survey methodology. Based on survey’s results, it was stated that domestic logistics centers are constantly evolving; nevertheless, the need for further development is observed.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to Measuring the efficiency of technological units in strategic industrial by regional development aspect. To achieve this goal, first define the criteria ...for regional development and after weighing these criteria, define the indicators for measuring the efficiency in terms of regional development and finally extract the units efficiency.Research Method: This research, from the perspective of research orientation, is applied and based on quantitative and qualitative methods. The research strategy is descriptive-survey, from the perspective of the purpose, descriptive, from the perspective of time horizon, cross-sectional and from the perspective of the method of data collection from interviews and documentary studies. The fuzzy Delphi method has been used to determine the criteria for regional development, the fuzzy hierarchical analysis method has been used to weight the criteria, and the fuzzy TOPSIS method has been used to rank the performance indicators. Finally, the efficiency of the units was obtained by Data Envelopment Analysis method.Results: In this study, 8 regional development criteria appropriate to the research topic were introduced. Then, the weight of these criteria was determined and 22 input indices and 22 output indices of technology units were ranked with these criteria. Finally, 18 units ranked in terms of efficiency.Conclusion: Saffron and dairy production industrial companies had the highest efficiency rank in terms of regional development.
Creative music skills promote much more divergent thinking perceived as a key element of creativity. The current research examines how music-making software enhances creative thinking skills in ...music.

year of study from three high educational establishments of China. The data were analysed using quantitative and statistical analyses, and the research method used to assess the results of pre-test and post-test for Measurement of Creative Thinking in Music (MCTM). The average value of the post-test found improvements in terms of four music parameters: musical length (ML) was improved by 66% and 66.5%, while musical flexibility (MF) by 41.6% and 36.2%. Musical originality (MO) was improved by 48.3% and 37.9%, musical syntax (MS) by 46.7% and 41.3%, respectively. The correlations of MCTM parameters were significant and it confirmed the positive effect of using multimedia software on the development of creative thinking in music. The findings can help educators to develop an effective framework for teaching music and enriching creative skills in students with music-making software. The research significance is that the results can help to improve creative thinking in high educational establishments.
